I knew you’d definitely be chosen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caesar looked a bit enviously at the adorable young dragon tumbling playfully around Moonlight Jasmine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*He wondered if it was the young dragon or Moonlight Jasmine he envied.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just lucky, it seems colorful dragons prefer combat players. I was just lucky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight Jasmine replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, dragons really are a gold race, right? It hasn’t been long since they hatched, and they’re already level 40. And I heard Li Mu and their dragon upgraded to silver in less than a month; it’s really terrifying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caesar marveled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why they’re sought after by players everywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted while teasing the little dragon, looking rather like a family of three...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as they were bonding with the little Blue Dragon, they suddenly felt something at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both players simultaneously raised their heads, looking at the system interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caesar’s eyes showed a hint of surprise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? A system quest has appeared, is this... a major war mission?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s the storyline quest for Death Desert!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight Jasmine said, a bit excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, they heard the cheers of excited players in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both looked instinctively towards the source of the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the veteran players gathered at the boundary of the Dark Mountain Range, waiting for the system mission activation, just like them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, they saw many players immediately pack up their gear and, like excited, unrestrained huskies, they ran and jumped towards the map boundary...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, there was no longer an invisible \"air wall\" blocking their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cheering players crossed into previously impassable territories and entered the final road leading from the Dark Mountain Range to Death Desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of them quickly disappeared out of sight...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The map’s open.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight Jasmine murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a pity... Only level 40 players can take on the first-stage mission. I’m not quite there yet, I guess I can’t do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caesar said with a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No rush, according to the quest system’s description, the second-stage storyline should be at level 30. Hurry and level up, aim for 40, so we can team up for the second-stage storyline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight Jasmine said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s the only way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caesar felt a bit regretful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*He had planned to focus on being a priest. Without storyline quests, grinding monsters wasn’t as effective as leveling up through preaching in the Oros Half-plane.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they were talking, they suddenly heard an even louder cheer...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground began to rumble, and a cloud of dust rose in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A formation of over a hundred players in neat lines rushed grandly into the newly opened map...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their professions varied, all above level 40, adorned in splendid gear, riding on various demon beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader was an Elf Warrior with silver status, riding a Green Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, a player held up a flag of a double-headed black eagle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That flag...

It makes me want to join them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you really have to level up quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight Jasmine laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved to Caesar, gently got up, and threw the jerky to the Blue Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small Blue Dragon swallowed the jerky in one bite, then bent down to let Moonlight Jasmine ride on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caesar shouted after her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight Jasmine nodded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll bring you back some specialties from Death Desert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she patted the Blue Dragon beneath her, which roared and sped up, quickly joining the Nature’s Heart Guild team...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after the First Legion, Nature’s Heart Guild’s pioneering team entered the new map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chose a different direction from the First Legion and dashed off...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caesar watched the players leave, filled with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until he couldn’t see their shadows anymore, he tilted his head,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Specialties from Death Desert?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elf Forest, Feilengcui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the real world, Black Dragon Mairrel and Red Dragon Tibilia reluctantly helped lifestyle players repair the city buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had just started when they heard a crisp and excited shout,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mairrel! Mairrel! Stop working! Come roam the Death Desert with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Little Xian Miao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mairrel let go of the stones held in her mouth, looking at the excited young girl,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has your quest begun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah! Hurry up, hurry up, the whole guild is waiting for us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Xian Miao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem... But look, I still have rebuilding work to do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mairrel’s eyes darted around as she cleared her throat, a large tail wagging behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch! I know what you’re thinking! If you don’t want to work, just leave it to our guild’s new players. Hurry up and come with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Xian Miao rolled her eyes, tugging at the Black Dragon’s tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop pulling, stop pulling! I’ll go! I’ll go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Dragon quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she looked over at Red Dragon Tibilia, tempting,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what do you say? Want to have some fun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have some fun? Where to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tibilia paused slightly, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Death Desert!

We’re taking care of the rebuilding. Just cooperate with our guild’s actions, okay? Hmm... Mainly just help us finish off targets!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red Dragon immediately nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Hmm...*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Assisting the Chosen One was part of the contract with Miss Ling.
